Advanced JWT Authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API. Part 2: Refresh Tokens and Client-Side

🎥 Hey, .NET Developers! Ready to take your authentication skills to the next level? In today's video, I'm guiding you through how to implement Refresh Tokens in an ASP.NET Core Minimal API. Learn how to enhance token-based authentication with a refresh token workflow while building secure, professional-grade APIs.

🛠️ Highlights:
▶️ Access & Refresh Tokens
Understand the difference between access tokens and refresh tokens and why refresh tokens are crucial for long-term authentication.

▶️ Adding a Refresh Endpoint
See how to set up a /refresh API endpoint that securely generates new access tokens when they expire.

▶️ HTML Login Page
I'll walk you through creating a simple HTML login page to input user credentials and how to call your secured weather API with tokens.

▶️ Token Expiration Handling
Learn how to gracefully handle expired tokens with client-side logic, ensuring a seamless user experience without repeated logins.

▶️ Testing with HTTP Client
Watch as I demonstrate how to use an HTTP client file to test API endpoints for login, token refresh, and secured access.

🎯 By the end of this video, you'll understand:

How access and refresh tokens work
How to implement and test a complete refresh token workflow
Best practices for token management and API security
How to use a simple client (HTML + JS) to test your secured API
